Appeals court hands Trump legal win, orders review of hush money case over immunity

A federal appeals court on Thursday ordered a lower court to reconsider a decision to keep President Donald Trump's ongoing case to erase his hush money conviction in state court.
The three-judge panel of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a federal judge failed to consider "important issues relevant" to Trump's request to move the New York case to federal court, where he can seek to have it thrown out on presidential immunity grounds.
Judges Susan L. Carney, Raymond J. Lohier Jr. and Myrna Pérez made their ruling after hearing arguments about the case in June.
quote:
Trump's legal team cited a Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity.
"President Trump continues to win in his fight against Radical Democrat Lawfare," a spokesperson for Trump's legal team said in a statement. "The Supreme Court’s historic decision on Immunity, the Federal and New York State Constitutions, and other established legal precedent mandate that the Witch Hunt perpetrated by the Manhattan DA be immediately overturned and dismissed."
U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein, an appointee of President Bill Clinton, had twice denied Trump's requests to move the case, once after his March 2023 indictment and another after Trump's May 2024 conviction.
The high court subsequently ruled that presidents and former presidents cannot be prosecuted for official acts. Trump pleaded not guilty to all 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree but was found guilty after an unprecedented six-week criminal trial in New York.
quote:
In a 111-page appeal filed in New York Supreme Court’s Appellate Division in October, Trump's lawyers also argued that Judge Juan Merchan, who presided over the case in which Trump was convicted, refused to recuse himself from the case. They questioned his impartiality due to his past political contributions — donating to both then-President Joe Biden and to a group called "Stop Republicans PAC."
The lawyers also called into question Merchan’s daughter’s work as the president and part-owner of an advertising company that was paid millions by the Kamala Harris campaign and other Democrats.

This case and convictions will ultimately be thrown out

It's annoying that Fox continues to frame this as "the hush money case." It should be called the "business records" case.
Horrors! The President noted the payments to his lawyer "as legal fees." What a rotten case that never would have been tried if Trump weren't the defendant.

On a scale of 0-10, how big of deal is this?

you mean the one that should have never gone before a judge, then went before a judge who worked for Kamala and his wife worked for Kamala and his daughter wrote a book saying Trump is Hitler?
That case??
SFP sees nothing wrong.

That depends on how big of a TDS infected liberal or principled libertarian a person is.
They probably have the DJT conviction newspaper headlines framed on the walls of their anti-man caves (she sheds).
They won't frame the papers proclaiming the reversal, because the msm will ignore it and not print a headline.
I guess they will need to label OMB as a "previously convicted felon"

Sent back for retrial for sure

When do you anticipate it being retried?
Posted on 11/6/25 at 5:09 pm to Y.A. Tittle
At this rate, after the 2028 election.
Because they're sending it back to Merchan, who will rule again, and it will be appealed again, and that took how many years for this one?

I'll keep your receipt and we can revist then, I suppose. 
I see little shot of it, myself.

I don't get what they lose by retrying it. NYC isn't going to flip red anytime soon and this is political pornography for them.
